Baker’s Dozen: Chapter 9
Chapter 9 of the Baker’s Dozen Fiction Story is now live, and it can only be described in one word … ok, I lied. There are no words to describe it. I am completely baffled by a few of the twists this one takes. Which is not a good thing because the next chapter is mine to write. Yikes!! Blogger Ted Strutz, of TedBook, writer of chapter 9, obviously has some imagination and sense of humor. I love it! You can find chapter 9, and all the previous chapters, right here. Enjoy!

Baker’s Dozen: Chapter 8
Chapter 8 of the Baker’s Dozen Fiction Story is live and, it is awesome! Written by C.L. Elli of Venti Mocha Moments, it throws yet another twist into the mix, and I’m starting to wonder if Forrest is going to make it out of this thing alive. I’m also getting extremely nervous … only one more writer ahead of me. Then it’s my turn to venture into Forrest’s and Angie’s perilous world! But we’ll worry about that later. For now, go check out chapter 8; you can find it (and the previous 7 chapters) right here!

Every Day Should Be This Good!
When I woke up this morning, the sky was a very bright blue. The sun was shining, the birds were singing. As I stretched and yawned and reached for my phone, I had no clue what the day would bring. But as I fired up my BlackBerry, my eyes still heavy with sleep, I proceeded to check my messages. And that’s when this most gorgeous day became even brighter.
The very first email I opened was a notification from Twitter. A reader, who had just finished Pierced Ever After, sent me a series of short private messages via Twitter (only 140 characters, you know), to let me know her thoughts on the conclusion of the Pierced Trilogy. She said that it had moved her to tears in a few spots, and she thanked me for making it “emotionally beautiful.” Her words.
Wow! I was floored. I had to read her words again. And again. I was so touched and humbled and shocked. It was, without a doubt, the coolest freaking way to begin the day! And that vibe of amazement has been with me ever since.
The sun is beginning to set now, and as I look out the window at the show, my mind can’t help but remember the beautiful morning and the elation I felt after reading those words. I PM’d her back and thanked her for her kind words and her praise for Pierced Ever After. I still feel touched and humbled and shocked. Every day should be this good.

Shameless Self-Promotion
Ok, so as the title suggests, it’s time for a little shameless self-promotion here. As you all know, I’ve just recently hit the publish button on book 3 of my Pierced Trilogy, Pierced Ever After. And, after weeks of planning (and a whole lot of hand-holding provided by Amy of Candlelight Book Promotions), I am about to embark on yet another blog book tour. But this one will be different from the last one, and a whole lot cooler, because this tour will be a series book tour!
It will run for just over three weeks and will feature all three books! So, week one will focus on Pierced By Danger, week two will focus on Pierced By Love, and then the last week and a half (roughly) will focus on Pierced Ever After. There will be spotlights on each book, guest posts, and interviews with yours truly. There may even be a few reviews of the trilogy (Yikes!). There will also be a few pretty cool giveaways during the tour as well – one for each book as well as one tour-wide giveaway. For each book, I’ll be raffling off a $10 Amazon gift card, and a $20 gift card plus an ebook set of the Pierced Trilogy for the tour-wide contest. But you’ll have to follow the tour to enter because, unfortunately, Rafflecopter doesn’t play very well with the free WordPress blog. But don’t worry, I’ll make it easy for you to follow along because I’ll be posting a link to each stop along the tour right here!
The tour begins on June 3rd and will run through the 28th. Wish me luck!
